The Constitution's Second Amendment was created to bolster slavery and capture land from Native Americans, award winning actor Danny Glover told a group of students at a Texas A&M sponsored event on Thursday.

I dont know if you know the genesis of the right to bear arms, he said. The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans.

A revolt from people who were stolen from their land or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, thats what the genesis of the second amendment is, he continued.

Glover, best known for roles in the Lethal Weapon franchise and Angels in the Outfield, was addressing students at an event being held in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Director of Texas A&Ms Memorial Student Center, Luke Altendorf, told Campus Reform on Friday that the university was unaware of Glover talking points prior to his speech.

I had no idea, we really didnt know that topic was coming up, he told Campus Reform. Someone was asking a question about activism, I think thats where some of that came from.

Altendorf declined to say if, or how much the school had paid for Glovers speech, but said student fees were not used.

Eric Schroeder, chairman of the conservative group, called the event “outrageous.”

“It should be a time for real reflection and respect,” he said referring to the memorial breakfast for King. “Instead, the university pushes a political agenda.”

Schroeder also called on university President Bowen Loftin to make up for the event by inviting a conservative speaker of equal star power.

“We expect President Loftin to stand by his commitment to diversity and fully support our efforts to bring in a conservative speaker to provide an alternative to Mr. Glover’s far left message” said Schroeder.

Director of Texas A&Ms Memorial Student Center, Luke Altendorf, told Campus Reform on Friday that the university was unaware of Glover talking points prior to his speech.

He's either a liar or incompetent. Glover's marxist screed is well known and documented.

I had no idea, we really didnt know that topic was coming up, he told Campus Reform. Someone was asking a question about activism, I think thats where some of that came from.

B.S.

Altendorf declined to say if, or how much the school had paid for Glovers speech, but said student fees were not used.

Glover is a money grubbing marxist hypocrite that expects the rest of the world to pay him reparations for spewing crap. No doubt that Texas taxpayers footed the bill for this event, one way or the other.

Doesnt matter if Glover is an idiot, a racist, or a deranged leftist, the people in the audience will believe him. They have probably heard the same message at home or in racial victimhood classes at college. They will believe it, teach it to their children, and vote for against Republicans.

(Obama being re-elected is the political equivalent of OJ being found not guilty.)

Danny Glover has lived in the USA a lot longer than I have and he has benefitted quite a lot more than I have. And if this is his view of our country, then he can go straight to hell. If he is so stupid that he can’t see that there is a human right to self-defense (from both criminals and tyrants), then I look forward to the day when his Marxist masters decide that he is no longer useful and they do what they always do to useful idiots after the revolution.
